Is Newcastle a 2 or 3 738 base this year ? Only seen 2 operating out so far

Edit: GDFW positioned in from Norwich yesterday looks like a 3 base now

[Jet2_738]

Yes, NCL is 3 738 based now - G-GDFS, G-GDFW, G-GDFY, and they're all in the air right now

Privilege Style B757 Summer 2015 Lease

Any news when the above will join the fleet? Or has the unexpected acquisition of G-JZHD meant that the B757 summer lease has been cancelled? Where is G-JZHD based?

It has not been cancelled.

It seems that an order for 10 x A320, 5 x A321 and a further 20 options on A320/321 may have been made. Should we expect an announcement soon?

Should we expect an announcement soon?

All depends on what your definition of 'soon' is.

That would be pretty major news! Source?

[fa2fi]

Exciting news! I wonder if they're to support expansion / replace examples of other types. Can't wait to find out where they will be based.

Check your PMs!

Like I said, they may have placed an order, but I'd prefer to see firm proof from Jet2 or Airbus before believing the source completely

[chaders]

I hope the source is more reliable than PPJN. Someone showed me this over there and I had to chuckle.

DjerbaDevil Privilege Style Boeing 757-200, EC-ISY has received its Jet2 titles

Meanwhile Boeing 737-800 G-JZHD has been at LBA for the last week over at Multiflight.

I believe it joins at the end of the month, as my company is looking after it at MAN.

[seahawks]

EC-ISY due at MAN tomorrow morning from MAD.

[DjerbaDevil]

Many thanks to all for the detailed information.

Looking forward to the big announcement. Someone said, some time back, that the moment could be the Paris Air Show in mid June.
If it is to be an Airbus order then my bet is the aircraft will be based at MAN and LBA.

[EK77WNCL]

Very interesting, not throw in a few A330's?

[LiamNCL]

It wont be before time if its true , A321 ideal replacement for the 757

[Station_Calling]

A321...

A321 ideal replacement for the 757

Not even close!

[Jet2_738]

A321 - 757 Not even close!

^^ Totally Agree! The only true replacement for the 757 will only ever be another 757.

[paully]

The 757 is almost unique..The acid test of comparability would be say Gibraltar. A fully laden 757 can and for many years did land and take off there. The A321 can`t do either unless empty...Not anywhere near the same flexibility

[DjerbaDevil]

The A321neoLR (Long Range) appears to be able to carry a similar number of passengers and fly a similar maximum range as the B757-200 but with about 25% less fuel consumption. Nevertheless it's doubtful that the useful and versatile lifespan of the A321neoLR will be comparable to the B752.
